Dear CSSP Member Society:

Two matters have been brought to the attention of the Ethics Committee of the Council of Scientific Society Presidents.  The first concerns repression of a federal scientist’s research by his or her agency because the topic of research was deemed a “sensitive issue”.   The second issue concerns bias in accepting scientific results based on the source of funding of the research.

The Ethics Committee wishes to determine if these incidents are isolated in nature or are matters of broader concern.   We would like our member societies to distribute the attached request for data to your membership so that examples of the above issues can be sent to secretary at sciencepresidents.org.  If you personally know of any instances of problems, we would also like to hear from you directly.  The names of individuals should be redacted to protect anonymity.  The Committee would like to receive this information by June 26 to see if the development of a CSSP Policy Statement on either matter is warranted.  We appreciate your cooperation in helping us explore potential problems with these matters.

Sincerely,

Judith A. Kelly
Chair, CSSP Ethics Committee
CSSP Secretary
